Name

Tarenna sambucina (G.Forst.) T.Durand [Index Gen. Phan.: 177 (1888)] ex Drake, Ill. Fl. Ins. Pacif.: 190 (1890)

Synonyms

• Basionym
  • Coffea sambucina G.Forst., Fl. Ins. Austr.: 16 (1786)
    • Syntypes:
      • J.G.A. Forster s.n. ([1772–1775]; BM {BM001040328^(JSTOR), BM001040329^(JSTOR) [collected by J.R. Forster & J.G.A. Forster as "Coffea cymosa. Forster" in pencil on sheet], BM001040330^(JSTOR) ['G. Forsters. Herbarium'], BM001040331^(JSTOR) ["Tongatabbu-G. Forsters. Herbarium"], BM001040332^(JSTOR) ["Coffea sicca a Cel. Forster"]}, C [​C10018382^(JSTOR)], GOET [​GOET012555 / 762756 / 406157^{(GBIF, JSTOR)} = 60, "Ins. Amicorum leg. Forster 60", sterile branch]; 'isotype': B -W 04127 -01 0^(JSTOR)]; 'Original material': FR-0031061^{(GBIF, JSTOR)}).
      • Forster s.n. (BM [Herb. Pallas, as Coffea sambucina, mounted on sheet with Coffea opulina, but labels reversed]).
      • Forster 44 (P ["Tonga Tabbu", "Insulae Amicorum"]).
      • Forster (K [ex LIV, copied label, two plants mounted together, one determined Coffea sambucina, which is Tarenna sambucina as commonly understood, the other is a fruiting plant of Pavetta, probably P. opulina (G.Forst.) DC.]).
      • Forster drawing no. 51 (BM [labelled Coffea sambucina, Tana]).
      • Forster drawing no. 32 (12 August 1774; LE) fide J. Ewan
      • Forster (MW [from "Ins. Amicor."]) fide Karabaev
      • Forster (UPS [labelled "Tongatabu, Namoka"]; cf. V-004920^(GBIF)).
    • Type locality: Insulae Amicorum[Tonga or Vanuatu].
      • Note: thus 'isotype' in K [ex LIV; K000763151^{(GBIF, JSTOR)}], which was collected in Tahiti, does not deserve lectotype (vide Smith 1988) and it belongs to var. tahitensis (Valeton) Fosberg & Sachet; Fosberg [& Sachet] (1991) stated that all the Forster collections of non-Tahitian origin are to be treated as syntypes until he completes his examination.
• Homotypic
  • Chiococca sambucina (G.Forst.) Spreng., Syst. Veg., ed. 16, 1: 756 (1824)
  • Pavetta sambucina (G.Forst.) DC., Prodr. 4: 492 (1830)
  • Stylocoryna sambucina (G.Forst.) A.Gray, Proc. Amer. Acad. Arts 4: 309 (Tarennae sp.) (1859); as 'Stylocoryne sambucina'
  • Chomelia sambucina (G.Forst.) Kuntze, Revis. Gen. Pl. 1: 278 (1891)
  • Ixora sambucina (G.Forst.) Kuntze, Revis. Gen. Pl. 1: 287 (1891)
  • Tarenna sambucina (G.Forst.) K.Schum. & Lauterb., Fl. Schutzgeb. Südsee: 561 (1900), isonym
    • Note: they cited Gray's Stylocoryna sambucina as basionym.
